Western Union Poker

Western Union offers a simple way to fund your online poker account.  They offer virtually the same service as their competitors Moneygram.  Customers can fund online and at any Western Union location. Western Union has always been a prefered method for larger deposits, but after the passing of the UIGEA western union pokerit gained popularity for smaller deposits from US customers as well. There are two drawbacks with funding an online poker account using this method. The first is the lack of withdrawal methods. Customers need to find another source of withdrawing money, for example through an e-wallet or check. The other drawback is that deposits are not instant. A form must be filled out and then the poker room needs to be informed that the transaction was made. Despite those problems, Western Union is a safe and reliable money transfer source.
